Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Yucatan Peninsula is far enough from the Caribbean to be missed by most hurricanes. This means that most hurricane don’t reach Cancun, or by the time a hurricane gets near, it’s downgraded to a less severe tropical storm. The last hurricanes to hit Cancun were hurricane Delta in 2020, and hurricane Wilma in 2005.

Detailed explanation-2: -Landfall: The intersection of the surface center of a tropical cyclone with a coastline.
